FAQs
What types of electrical fixtures do you carry at your Thorn Hill location?
Our Thorn Hill showroom stocks a comprehensive range of electrical fixtures, including ceiling lights, wall sconces, recessed lighting, track systems, pendant and chandelier fittings, outdoor weather-rated fixtures, ceiling fans, and under-cabinet LED strips. We also keep a full selection of switches, dimmers, occupancy sensors, junction boxes, and compatible mounting hardware so you can complete the entire installation with components that are guaranteed to work together.
Are your fixtures approved for use under the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)?
Yes. Every fixture we sell is cUL, CSA, or ETL certified, which means it has been tested and approved for use in Canada under the CEC. Certification labels are clearly visible on each product and in our online catalog. Using certified fixtures not only keeps your project code-compliant but also ensures safety and eligibility for insurance coverage.
Do you offer advice or services to help with installation?
Absolutely. Our in-store experts can guide you through fixture selection, load calculations, and compatibility with existing wiring. While we don’t perform physical installations ourselves, we maintain a vetted list of licensed local electricians in Thorn Hill and surrounding York Region. We can provide referrals, book on-site consultations, or coordinate delivery of products directly to your contractor to streamline the installation process.
What should I consider when choosing the right light fixture for a room?
Start by identifying the room’s purpose and required light levels (measured in lumens). For example, kitchens and workspaces generally need 5,000–8,000 lumens, while bedrooms need 2,000–4,000. Next, match fixture style to ceiling height—flush mounts or recessed lights for low ceilings, pendants or chandeliers for higher ceilings. Confirm the fixture’s wattage limit and choose compatible bulbs (LED, CFL, or incandescent) that provide the desired color temperature (2700 K warm to 5000 K daylight). Finally, ensure the fixture’s backplate or housing fits existing junction boxes and that there’s adequate support for the fixture’s weight.
Can I return or exchange a fixture if it doesn’t suit my project?
Yes. Uninstalled fixtures in original packaging can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. Simply present your receipt in-store or start a return online. Special-order items may be subject to a 15% restocking fee, and clearance items are final sale. If the fixture has been installed and shows signs of use, we can still assist with manufacturer warranty claims for defects but we cannot accept it for standard return.
Do you stock energy-efficient or smart lighting options?
We specialize in high-efficiency solutions such as ENERGY STAR® certified LED fixtures, integrated LED panels with 50,000-hour lifespans, and dimmable drivers. For smart homes, we carry Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave compatible fixtures and bulbs that work with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Many of these products qualify for provincial energy-rebate programs; our staff can help you complete the paperwork to claim available incentives.
